ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- At around 2:44 PM today, Monday, April 8, 2024, the [British] Virgin Islands will experience a partial solar eclipse that will last for just over an hour.

The maximum eclipse, which is the deepest point of the eclipse, with the Sun at its most hidden, will occur around 3:23 PM.

A total solar eclipse; however, will be experienced in parts of North America. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth and, for a short time, completely blocks the face of the sun, according to NASA.

The total phase of this solar eclipse is not visible in the [British] Virgin Islands, but it can be observed there as a partial solar eclipse. The Moon covers only a small portion of the Sun.

In the US, the path of totality begins in Texas and will travel through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Small parts of Tennessee and Michigan will also experience the total solar eclipse, according to NASA.

Looking at the sun — even when it's partially covered like during an eclipse — can cause eye damage.

    The Aliens are driving in the wrong direction, or will be making a landing today. NASA and the US Gov knows about it so that call it an Eclipse to cover up for the Aliens.
    Since the are trying to find a Time Zone for the moon they have to Cooperate with the Aliens and give something in return, which is more earthly territory especially mountains and underground. We are not alone !

      You sound stupid but there may be sense in the stupidity Lmao. So much going on that is kept in secret you just never know what is truth until it’s late.
      However to add to the confusion, We know that all of this Internet , 5G , and Anti - Gravity laws have been known by the Cosmic Travelers for centuries and only now reaching the ears and sight of regular humans , many and much more info is out there to support this theory but we don’t read, especially Young people these days don’t read.

    @Pluto these people are so blind by what's going on and they think I am crazy to. It only takes a little bit of common sense for people to understand,but common sense aint common anymore. They did a whole count down and sound the sheeps how dumb they are. All the talk about the eclipse and the day came and they used project blue bean on the dummies. I want to know if the father texted them and say what time and what day. Look at the sky in the day time you can't see any sitelites but at night you can see them Wow. You all are totally dumb. The drones are what tricks you
